An artificial intelligence (AI)-focused altcoin and a decentralized finance (DeFi) token saw their values climb after being added to Coinbase’s listing roadmap. The crypto exchange announced the addition of Aethir (ATH), an AI-focused project, and Maple Finance (SYRUP), a DeFi protocol, on social media platform X, triggering a surge in the digital assets’ prices.
Coinbase uses its listing roadmap to provide transparency and often to prevent front-running of tokens before they are officially listed on the exchange. Inclusion in the roadmap suggests that Coinbase may soon offer support for the listed crypto asset. Following the announcement, both tokens experienced significant gains. ATH’s price rose from a low of $0.0318 on March 6th to a peak of $0.0435 the following day, representing an increase of about 36.79%. Meanwhile, SYRUP surged from a low of $0.137 on March 7th to a peak of $0.193 on March 8th, a rise of 40%.
While both assets have since slightly retraced, they are currently valued at $0.0371 and $0.165, respectively. Aethir, which launched on Ethereum (ETH) in June 2024, is a decentralized cloud computing protocol designed to offer high-performance graphics processing unit (GPU) capabilities to AI applications and blockchain-based video games. Maple Finance, which launched in 2021, operates as a borrowing and lending protocol. It provides borrowers with access to capital via under-collateralized loans and enables lenders to earn yields by providing liquidity within the platform.
